I was inspired by your project. Having looked everywhere for a solid wood toy chest that looked good also as a furniture piece. I built this out of solid popular. I added legs and vintage caster wheels. I also added a addition divider in the bottom middle compartment (over bought slightly on popular). For the top front rail I used a wider rail to hold more toys. I bought also square bins on top for extra toy storage (found on sale for 2.99 each). I used trim screws to secure entire chest because I noticed using nails it was not as sturdy. Trim screws have small heads and if they are counter sunken they can easily be fillered. Used primer plus paint all in one to coat toy storage after giving it a good sanding. I also added cup pulls on both ends for easy moving with the wheels. Overall project cost a lot because of solid wood, screws, paint, etc. could make a great bin for storage of potatoes, onions, and etc if one where to use food grade paint.
